Enhanced steel tensile testing solutions meeting industry standards

In automotive safety, steel’s strength is crucial. To meet safety standards, we must evaluate material strength when choosing materials.

Barrus Universal Testing Machines support ISO-approved tensile testing (ISO 6892) at various temperatures.

They can also work with environmental chambers, enabling testing in high or low-temperature conditions. Our solutions are versatile and meet the demands of rigorous applications.

Precision peel testing for adhesives and tape applications

Adhesive tapes are indispensable in the automotive industry, and assuring their quality is paramount.

We adhere to the industry-recognized ISO 29862:2007 standard for our testing procedures.

In Hungary, a leading automotive manufacturer relies on Barrus universal testing machines for peel testing to determine the force required to remove adhesive labels.

Ensuring spring safety and performance

Mechanical systems dependent on springs must meet stringent safety requirements to mitigate potential risks. Thorough spring testing and certification are essential to confirm compliance with safety standards and optimal performance. Spring testing encompasses crucial parameters including spring rate, load capacity, stress levels, and fatigue strength.

Our comprehensive spring testing capabilities extend to testing compression, extension, and torsion springs. Employing a range of different universal testing machines, and multi-axial testing, we assess attributes like friction, wear, and service life to ensure your springs meet the highest standards of safety and reliability.
